Tools are being developed in the community to facilitate this. A data cleaning step is recommend, e.g. remove outliers in lab values. | + | **Data characterisation and cleaning**: Before modelling it is important to characterize the cohorts, for example by looking at the prevalence of certain covariates.

Visualisation tools could help and this will be further explored in the WG. | + | **Inclusion and exclusion criteria** should be made explicit.

| **Model development** is done using a split-sample approach. The percentage used for training could depend on the number of cases, but as a rule of thumb 80/20 split is recommended. Hyper-parameter training should only be done on the training set. | **Model development** is done using a split-sample approach.
